  1. Hi Frank, You see that you can do it without all those nice tools ???? Nice fix and now sanding and all that kind of stuff ? Next week finished ??????? Sjors
  2. Everyone has is own way to do something Larry, I like yours Nice progress !!!!! Sjors
  3. I have take a look at it and it looks good. The only thing is that when you do the knot for the first time, you have to look carefully how the rope is going. When you have the drawing in front of you, you can take a look all the time. If you have done 50 of them , then I hope that you know the knot. If not, you have all the time you tube on the screen and I think after seeing it 20 times, you get bored. Ive done now about 80000 of those knots and still......sometime I need the drawing ! You don't have to use the drawing but for those who want them, it's just there. Make a print from it and put it above the workshop wall or something like that Sjors
  4. No Perls, I did not. May I ask why ????? I have this drawing for a long time and I don't know how I get it but I have it !!!! Sjors

  7. Very nice JP ! Have confidence in your self and all the pieces are falling at the places they have to go...( make sense ? ) I think you have found it how it has to be. Surprise me a little bit more and go on Sjors
  8. Vivian, Well done so far ! Fore the tension of the main mast...just make it a little loose . When you are putting sails on it, it will not help you to place the mast right. And not all the ropes has to be that tight as a guitar string........ Keep on ging please Sjors

  16. Go on Sam, Post some pictures of what you are doing with the rigging on the carriages and I can use it when ever I'm up to doing that with those few cannons on the Aggy For me it looks good ! But I'm not that experienced ...... Sjors
